Program of Priestly Formation (Ascension)

PPF 398

Program of Priestly Formation

During the discipleship stage, seminaries should provide a required program of apostolic activity, under the direction of a qualified coordinator who is a priest. Evaluation of seminarians should include consideration of their apostolic zeal in pastoral formation programs. They should be encouraged to understand the relationship of their apostolic activity to their personal, spiritual, and academic formation as well as their ongoing discernment of a priestly vocation. 398
